A HAPPY CHRISTMAS
A Happy Christmas to You! For the Prince of Peace is come, And His reign is full of blessings, Their very crown and sum. No earthly calm can ever last, ’Tis but the lull before the blast; But His great peace Shall still increase In mighty, all-rejoicing sway; His kingdom in thy heart Shall never pass away. —FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL. Used by permission of E. P. Dutton & Co. OUR AUTHORS THIS MONTH rpHE authors oi our feature articles -L this month are remarkably gifted men, who not only serve faithfully in their regularly appointed fields of Christian service, but who are also en gaged in writing and conference work. Dr. V. Raymond Edman is president of Wheaton College; Rev. A. W. Tozer is vice-president of the Christian and Missionary Alliance and a pastor in Chicago; Dr. Robert G. Lee is pastor of the Bellevue Baptist Church of Mem phis; and Dr. Arthur I. Brown, former physician and surgeon, is a radio evangelist, specializing in Biblical evi dences with a scientific approach. FORTHCOMING FEATURES /'"VUR January issue will be a com- bination New Year and Missionary number. Certainly we cannot begin a year in a better way than by lifting up our eyes to look upon the whitened harvest fields of this world. Dr. Robert Hall Glover, missionary statesman and world citizen, has written a most brilliant and comprehensive article on the challenge of missions for our times which those interested in the missionary enterprise will not wish to miss. In addition, there will be special New Year messages, two full pages of pictures of mission fields, and many other attractive features. In February, Dr. Vance Havner be gins a new series of articles on the minor characters of the Bible, com mencing with Gamaliel. These mes sages are not only unique in their subject matter, and “different” in their style, but they contain as well a deeply spiritual appeal. We hope to retain many of our reg ular departments and to add others from time to time which will be help ful to Christian workers everywhere. Suggestions from our readers with re gard to the kind of helps desired will be welcome. We are seeking to give the very best to our readers and we covet the prayers of God’s children for the magazine.
